Decimals reading Python
Hello,

i'm new in python. Consider that i have this function that read me some data from a serial :

Code:
def GetData():
  line = open(serialx).read()
  hash = line.find("#")
  when = line[:hash]
  count = line[hash+1:-1]
  # print when, count, line
  return (float(when), int(count))

it gives me the result with tre digits like 301 300 301 etc.. how i can have more decimals (and precision reading) to achieve a result of ex 3000001 eventually using another counter too like +001 -001?

Thank you

Regards
